Energizing words (21–30) that give you a powerful push to keep going
Don’t listen to others’ expectations. Live your own life and meet your own expectations.Tiger Woods
Support often gives us strength, but excessive expectations can turn into pressure.
This quote from Tiger Woods teaches us that rather than carrying others’ expectations to achieve something, it’s important to listen to your own inner voice—what you want to do and how you want to live.
It’s natural to want to live up to the encouragement and expectations of those you care about, but if they become a burden, the results are unlikely to be good.
Your life is yours.
Please walk straight down the path you truly wish to take.
What matters is not practice, but the passion for practice.Pelé
Which is better: practicing just because you’re vaguely told to, or practicing hard with a clear goal in mind? Pelé, called the King of Soccer and admired by players and fans around the world—he captivated so many people precisely because, true to these words, he kept practicing tirelessly with passion, scored countless goals, and became a beloved figure worldwide.
Spending time on practice is sometimes important, but even more important, he teaches us, is approaching practice with your heart fully invested and your soul in it.
Energizing words (31–40) that give you a strong push to keep you going
There is no absolute champion. A champion is always a challenger.Kosuke Kitajima
It means that no matter how strong someone is, if they become satisfied, their growth will stop.
Truly strong people think, “I’ve still got a long way to go,” and always keep working toward new goals.
Even after winning a competition, it’s important not to relax and think “I’ve done enough,” but to keep practicing with the mindset, “Next time, I want to swim even faster.” The same applies to studying and work: people who continue to aim higher even after a success are the ones who grow.
These words gently teach us the importance of not standing still after success and of never forgetting the spirit of challenge.
A true champion is someone who always keeps moving forward.
Believe in the 1% chance, believe in yourself, and believe in what you’ve done.Yuto Horigome
At the Paris 2024 Olympics, skateboarder Yuto Horigome competed in the men’s final.
He put up a high score in his first run, but fell in his second and couldn’t improve his total.
Meanwhile, a strong American contender posted a big score, and Horigome entered his fifth and final attempt in provisional seventh place.
By landing a high-difficulty trick, he pulled off a brilliant comeback and won the gold medal.
Horigome spoke about times he nearly gave up and how he kept believing in even a 1% chance.
It’s a memorable quote that drives home the importance of never giving up.
Life isn’t for curling; curling is one of the things that make life shine.Mari Motohashi
Mari Motohashi, who has also excelled at the Winter Olympics as a member of the curling team Loco Solare.
She started curling at the age of 12, and while curling may seem like her entire life, that’s not quite the case.
For her, curling is one element of living an enjoyable life, not something to which she dedicates her entire existence—something she conveyed in her own words.
Even athletes who compete on the world stage are human beings.
It seems she’s showing us that both challenging the world through curling and walking one’s own path as an individual are equally valid ways to live one’s life.
Effort is always rewarded. If there is effort that isn’t rewarded, then it can’t yet be called effort.Sadaharu Oh
No matter how hard you try, things still don’t go well… At times like that, it might simply mean you haven’t put in enough effort yet.
Sadaharu Oh—who achieved numerous great feats in his playing days and later managed the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks and the Japan national team—may be speaking from the weight of the effort behind his accomplishments.
While he suggests that seemingly unrewarded effort might still be lacking, there’s hope in his belief that effort will surely be rewarded.
If you’re struggling without seeing results, let these words give you the strength to push just one step further.
Doing things without changing what I aim forRyo Ishikawa
The 2013 season, in which he took on the challenge as a member of the U.S.
men’s tour.
These were the words Ryo Ishikawa spoke as he carried great expectations and pressure.
He said it was important not to change his playing style in order to maximize his abilities in an unprecedented environment.
When the environment changes, the people around you change as well, so it’s hard to do everything as usual.
But how you keep from losing yourself in that situation leads to victory.
You can really feel Ishikawa’s strong will, as someone who has always played golf to win.
